On the last day of every month eince President Wilson's first inauguration, Mrs. Kate Shea, me. senarer in the treasury dep rtment, has delivered the resident's salary check to the White House.

The affair was a success beyond the dreams of the promoters and Scout officials from President P.. C. Pierce clear down the line are congratulating themselves on the spirit shown at the big meeting. Nearly four hundred fathers and sons attended tha banquet and proud dads and bright-eyed lads vied with each other in turning looio for a right of enjoyment in the eats and program. As the affair was a banquet above ah other things the success of the evening was duo primarily to the work of the Scout mothers who served the dinner a.nd covered themselves with glory. They knew how to appeal to the boys, big and llti.1.-, and with an old-fashioned roast beef inenu and it was some roast beef, according to the hoys with all Its trimmings, tho cats part of the program satisfied the Scouts beyond a doubt and to see the boys eat was worth triple the price of admission. There was not a dull moment during the entire evening. There were yells and songs before th oats, during the eats and after the eats and the Scuts saw that all the, .Scout ;.otaWes in town were hailed in song at one, time or another during the evening. Jesse Wilson acted as master of ceremonies, ably assisted by Scout Executor Scott, Rev. Snyder and other:-. After the feed the b'ys were delighted with a maglclaji who had a box of novel tricks and one of the best ventriloquists ever henrd off 1he professional stig. Snappy speeehe.s and more songs followed and sro tit leaders wore introduced to give ihe boys an eyeful!. If there could bo any di'Ubt of Scout patriotism, the enthusiastic singing of America and The Star Spangled Banner would have driven th'-m au-sy m 1th hoots. It was a great evening and. tickets to the next Father and S"ti bmiquet in Hammond will lie at a premium. . f INTFPNAT'ONAL NfWS SERVICE! IXDIANAPOLI.S. Ind.. Feb. V.

Vice-President Coming Back To Indiana to Look For A Job BT GloRGFi Tt. HOLMES STAFF CO-RESPONDENT I. WASHINGTON. Fb. P. N. SESVICE1 At the age of 67. when moft men confine their ac1 tnlties to perhips a little golf ana la few dally wal!:s, Thomas Biley Marshall, vice president of the United States, is going to start making money. At least, he iiopi to, he said t-.day. He will be 67 years old just ten days after ! he is relieved from office on March 4. I Mr. Marshall, whoso record of eight j years presiding over the senate, has I been equalled ly only two other vicepresidents in history Adams under I Washington and Tempkfns under Moni r, looks forward to March 4 with i undisguised relief. "The first thing I'm goin? to do," he said today, "Is make some money, I've been in politics all my life. 1 made my first political speech for Horace Greeley when I was 18 in Indianapolis. For the last 12 years I've been in office. It has kept me poor. Looks like if I wss ever going to make ' any money I'd better be starting. 1 t have a family tr support." j A lecture torr will be his first con- j cern Immediately after he leaves ol- ; flee. That will keep him occupied tor some weeks and after that he is ;.ing to Europe. "And mind you," he said whimsically. "I'm going to Europe and I haven't any 'mission." I'm not going over to teil eni what's wrong with Europe. I'm not poing to make an 'exhaustive study' of conditions. I'm not going to ooafer with the 'leading minds' of Europe I'm going merely as an American traveler to see some things I havent rcen. They ehould be glad to see me ver there. They don't often see . .- r-- AXiicri. a n who hasn't a W,s!0. l-fjoJis: partly in--aC-de-fense. ' For years I've horrified my friends by admitting that I've never been to Europe. Why, I've seen ladles who never -were west of Chicago in their lives break out in a cold clammy (sweat and look .t me qucerly -when I Fatd I'd never been to Europe. I've st to go." Twelve years in office, four as governor of Indiana and eight, presiding over the senate, has left the vice-president unshakstt Jn his "political principles," lie said. Nothing he has seen in eight years wat.-hing the legislative wheels go 'rjtmi at the ca.pitol, has altered his beliif in the democracy his daddy taught him nor has it changed his conviction that the United States government is the best government in the world to date. He has "a lot of Ideas" which later he m&y write a book about. His goodhumored criticism of many aspects of government have brought him a number of offers frsm publishers to incorporate theio into a book. One thing he does think Is wrong the direct primary law as it now operates, and lie thinks it ought to be remedied at once. "Trouble !s," he criticised. . "that It bars from polltlcnl activity all but two kinds of men the 'very wealthy who can afford to go out and make a big splurge, or the sons of poor but dishonest parents the man In moderate circumstances, who is honestly ambitious for a political career It bars. "If there hid been a direct primary law In operation when I started out 1 never would have been governor of In-, diana nor vice orrsident of the United States. May be some folks," he continued drolly, "would pay that that would have be?n a good thing. But let them say it." With politics, however, the V. P. said he w3s done. "For myself, I mean. I've been In polities all my lif. The habits of a lifetime are not easily shaken. When something coms up that I want to talk about. I'm ijoine to talk, But as for me I'm dune. I've, no ambitions." A suggestion tj.at he might Interest himself in the war that Is now going on for control of tho democratic party or in Its propped reorganization brought h-.th hands In the uir.

PLENTY OF GIRLS FOR DOMESTIC HELP Many Chicago Girls Come to Twin Citys for Employment With employment steadily Incressing in most all lines c f work, there is a noticeable decline in positions and the rate of pay for white and colored servants. Up until a few days ago, servants were being paid at the rate of 4o cents an hour and even at this price there seemed to be a big shortage. It has been almost impossible to secure help In the way of servant problem, for some time, owing to the demands which the servants have been asking. A great many of them were being paid from J10 to $13 a week and their board, but even at this wage they were hard to find. Tho new wage now being paid to .the servants is figured on a basis of 32 cents an hour for straight work, or on a salary basis of $8 a week and board. The servant worker field is now greatly overcrowded. Many glrfs, both white and colore! from Chicago, have come to the Twin City end are asking for this new rate of ray. It Is believed that with the reduction of -wages, the servant problem will be greatly relieved, as there Is hardly any question, at this time, that they will be again increased. In other rltiey. the servants have already agree'! to a cut of almost 23 per cent, and it is a!most certain that this t-tep will be taken by servants tn a good many more cities.
